 The Stuph File Podcast:

For those of you like me looking for an interesting yet funny podcast, take a look at Peter Anthony Holder's Stuph File Program. Each week in his podcast, he includes a couple guests and tons of laughs from wacky stories he finds in the news. Some of his guests include Academy Award Nominee Juanita Wilson, actress of NBC's new comedy The Community Yvette Nicole Brown and lastly author of Roadside Baseball Chris Epting. Peter's podcast is out every monday and it's well worth the listen! (http://www.peteranthonyholder.com/ or itunes)

Thanks Sammy!!!

Something to look forward to

For anyone who was a fan of Amelie, the director (Jean-Pierre Jeunet) has created a new film that looks to be equally incredible

Micmacs should be coming out in limited release this summer, so keep an eye out, because truly original films don't often get made, let alone seen in a  movie theater

Slacking!

I'll cut right to it since it's been a while...

Saw Hot Tub Time Machine and it was great!

It's along the lines of The Hangover, though not that good, but definitely had it's moments of hilarity.  At one point I almost threw up I was laughing so hard... Now that's funny!

Go see it especially if you're a child of the '80's, if for no other reason than because the music rocks, and not in the duran duran way, but in the Motley Crew kinda way!!!!

Stuff other people say

From what I've read, CBS is trying to make a TV show based on a guys twitter feed called "Shit My Dad Says" (If they can figure out a network appropriate name)

A few Gems include:

- "Don't ask for my opinion then. I said congrats on the car, just saying nobody's panties are getting wet from a fucking Honda Accord."

- "STOP apologizing. You're sorry, he gets it, Jesus. You spilled a glass of wine, not fucked his wife."

- "I just want silence. Jesus, it doesn't mean I don't like you. It just means right now, I like silence more."

But before there was this guys Dad (at least documented for everyone to read), or even twitter for that matter, there was this guys kid which had me laughing out loud (as apposed to lol)

He has a point with some of them:

- "I don't understand why I have to go to school at all, the internet knows more than all the teachers there put together."

:)

due to work

I've been slacking. Hope this clip makes up for it!

"Does this look like a team oriented bunch of individuals to you?"

I LOVE IT!!!!!!

I AM OFFICIALLY EXCITED FOR PREDATORS

Predators Movie Trailer - Trailer

And as a bonus friday funny, check out this site for a guy who pretended to be a 10 year old and wrote letters to famous people and groups to see what they would reply

-enjoy the weekend

Chatroulette

If you haven't seen chatroulette.com, then well...

This is how I feel about it





But there are a few moments worth sharing, like this classy guy

or these

Technology: The New and the Old

From the highest grossing film of all time, here's a video of James Cameron talking about his inspiration for making Avatar




If you've never checked out www.ted.com , you're missing out. If you enjoyed documentaries like An Inconvenient Truth, or ever considered going to see speakers like William Clinton or Warren Buffet speak, it is highly recommended!


And now for the old, I stumbled upon this site and had a laugh. I remember getting this excited to record on a disk as well!

OMG!!!!

Could a Predator sequel actually be good!!!!




Trailer is coming out later in the week, but so far so good!!!!!

Finally!

It feels like I haven't written about movies in ages, and for no better reason than pure laziness of writing more than a sentence and attaching a youtube clip!

So, finally, here's a few of the films I've seen lately:

Shutter Island
I was hesitant to go see this film after seeing the trailers and thinking it was going to be a horror movie and that's just not my thing.  Well, I'm glad I went because it was great.  I don't want to ruin anything for anyone, but know this: a) Despite it's trailer, it is NOT a horror movie.  Scorsese does a great job of creating suspense and tension with the music and editing, but there are no boogie men, and no one is jumping out of the closet and killing everyone, and b) It's Martin Scorsese. If there are any directors out there that deserve some credit and your confidence that he will make a great film, it's him

Although, he should fire whoever ran his marketing campaign




Alice in Wonderland
I generally love the work of Tim Burton, so it hurts me to say that I was underwhelmed by this movie.  While much of the special effects are amazing (the Queen of Hearts was priceless), much of the CGI was awkward, and took me out of the movie.  I kept wondering how hard it would have been to digitally remove a gap from Johnny Depps teeth instead of putting some black putty on them, or why Krispen Glover (as the Jack of Hearts) looked so fake while he was riding his horse when they could have simply shot really horse riders... I still could have overlooked it's visual flaws, as there were definitely more good than bad, but it was the forced used of Depp in too many parts (WHAT IS UP WITH THAT DANCE SCENE?!?!?!  When/ If you see the movie, you'll know what I'm talking about) and the typical Hollywood movie battle of the 3rd act that is unforgivable.  Anyway, I don't want to bash it too much, it was... good... but just not as great as it should have been.  And definitely not what I was hoping for

I'll get back to movies tomorrow

I meant to write a review or 2 today, but I saw this video and thought you may enjoy it...




When I see that, I actually like all those products, and can appreciate what they're trying (and mostly successful) at doing.

They're much better than apple because at least everything they do is free, and they don't come out with crapy first (and usually 2nd) versions of everything to make you buy  more...

Who's really evil?

An Oscar Winning short that's worth watching

here>

Check out Logorama, this years animated short Oscar winner



and part 2





And if you don't have the 15 minutes to spare on those, spend 2 watching the new trailer for TRON 2!!!!

ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........

Wow, now that was BORING!!!

Not even a swan dress or a dress held on by stickers!

It's funny, when I watched The Hurt Locker ages ago, I didn't think it was a great movie. Although, any film that kills of Bill Paxton deserves some recognition (as apposed to Bill Pullman... Can you tell them apart?!)

The best part was when it ended (an hour too late), and Jimmy Kimmel came on

Friday Funny

They brought back all of the SNL presidents for a Funny or Die sketch... Amazing seeing all these comedians together. Enjoy

So wrong but so funny!

and a late addition cause it made me laugh...

See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

5 Toe salute to Roger Eberts new/old voice

I stumbled upon these shoes recently and can't wait to get a pair!





And if you didn't know, Reger Ebert a few years back had several operations on his throat and has 'lost his voice' (althuogh, if you read his work, it is most definetly still there)

A company has been able to 'give him his voice back' by putting together clips of all the words he has said on his shows and recorded work... Amazing

Hurricane Hazel

If you've never watched Rick Mercer, he's most famous for his 'Talking to Americans' program, but his show (The Rick Mercer Report) is just as funny.  Enjoy this clip from his show with one of the most amazing women you'll ever see




and here's a little Talking to American's for your eye rolling pleasure

Too fat and white

I've been busy watching the Olympics, and apart from laughing at Kevin Smith being too fat for the sky, the only show that I'm watching with original episodes is Lost, so I apologize for not posting about anything else lately!

Here's a guy who thinks he knows what George Bush has been up to since he left office




Back to KS, maybe he should send Southwest one of these babies!!!!!!!
